Why are there no enough ROMs for Z2? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I used to have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 there are hundreds of ROM for that device or any Samsung devices. Now Im using this amazing device but there is no enough developer working on it. Why is that? There are only 2 ROMs I can see active doing updates all the time.

Yeh, but most of the ROMS are nearly identical. Here we have a some stock based and some CM/AOSP based but all are different.
It was the same with the S3, hundreds of ROMs but nearly all the same, only 1 or 2 were "proper" roms, developed and not "cooked"
There are at least 3 stock ROMS and at least 2 CM/AOSP roms here.
What exactly are you looking for?

The CM/AOSP roms arent nearly stable, as I read

Im looking something like AOSB Project
There is nothing like that in here. CarbonROM looks nice but its unofficial. I dont flash unofficial ROMs.
Stock ROMs are boring unless there are addons, tweaks etc.
I really like AOSP style ROMs but I cant see any in here.

Stock roms can be configured using xposed and gravity box amount others. I'm really liking Sony Stock atm...

I am missing themer and such features on sony stock

I do beleive that alot of devs may be waiting for stable release of Official CM11 since AOKP,Pa and a few other roms of such are based on Cyanogenmod

Themer installs fine on the stock rom I'm using it myself. Unless you mean the CM Themes

Is there an ICS rom as Google intended (ie without Touch Wiz)

hi, is there an ics rom for the sgs2 which hasn't been samsung-ized? i guess the same as what's on the nexus.
i've spent about half an hour looking round here and google. i found this
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-pure-ics-rom-50788/
but it's a couple of months old and wondered if there was anything more recent?
thanks, kris
I think this is what your looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518
There are indexes of ROMs in both the Android Development and Original Android Development sections. You'll want to look at the ones labelled as AOSP or AOKP. Look them over, research them, flash them to try them out yourself.

Yeah, that (F1) is one option... Not sure why, but it's not listed in either of the indexes.
Neither is this one (CBR).
Both of these (F1 and CBR) are those developers attempts to capture the true Google AOSP feel of ICS.
perfect, thanks both!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102 is also an option, most of the other AOSP/AOKP based ROMs use the device specific repositories from Cyanogen for the SGS2.
I am using a pretty good one too. It's the Resurrection Remix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854).
You should take a look.
The pure rom is released in a special version 2.0. I like this rom. It's based on a official samsung rom with a ics theme and the aosp apps. The samsung bloatware is removed.

[Q] [Request] Android 4.2.2 ROM port over?

Would anyone else love to see the 4.2.2 ROM ported from the Google Edition One to the DNA? I have been trying to get some sweet stock Android on my DNA for a long time and it doesn't appear there are any ROMs on here or anywhere else that would accomplish that. Is it possible?

It is the same as the Cyanogenmod!, What we would like in SENSE 5 with JB 4.2.2

Right, but isn't that still just a developmental progress? I would love CM as well but I don't think they have a stable release yet.
I really hope this phone opens up roms for our phone

CM vs. Stock Android = two completely different roms. I want to use the CM 10.1 roms, but they don't have working BT audio yet. Maybe this phone's rom will help them get it working? The GPE rom will get tweaked and modded by the htc one community and hopefully those will be easily ported to the dna. Sense is cool and all, but I would like to free up some space on my stupid 16gb of non-expandable storage more than anything. Heck it might even get better battery life without all that htc stuff running in the background? Keeping my fingers crossed. :good:
There are plenty of stock roms. Not necessarily pure aosp, but there's cm amongst many other roms. And they are all about 99% working.

Anyone working on the Google edition ROM? I understand diff but working Bluetooth is a must for me.

What's next?

After flashing over 15 different Roms and finding a stable one, I have become slightly bored with this device. I'm on mdk, any suggestions of could mods, exposed modules, or other hacks that can respark some fun?

Flash ME7 and unlock the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
I know how you feel. I bought the s4 mainly for its features, screen size and battery life also thinking development would be insane coming from the somewhat abandoned htc rezound. Turns out that it's not much better. This bootloader is really keeping developers away

If your on mdk there's plenty of ROMs to flash,I came from a galaxy nexus, there's not as many as it had but I wouldn't expect there to be its not a nexus, but there's plenty of ROM to choose from and, also y should they be 100 ROMs to choose from that does the same thing 15, 20 ROMs is fine, you got cm, carbon aokp illusion slimbean and more, then you got your ge based, and your tw roms , what else could you want

Be happy with what you get the ROMs are compiled out of the devs free time and they don't owe you nothing, or start compiling your own ROM and use it...

S4 ROMs. Where are they?

The ROM thread was last updated in October. I can't seem to find all the ROMs based on the lastest OTA update. I'm assuming there are a bunch of ROMs based on that. Is development dead for this phone or are they just on another site?

Nitro has a progress build for mj7 on his eclipse website. When it is ready he'll post it here. Sbreen94 is also working on a 4.3 build but it isn't up yet. That is all the action I'm aware of @ the moment.
I don't believe development is dead for this phone. Check the threads in Android and original development. Lots of choices.

They're coming like Captain said. Development isn't dead for the Verizon s4, but it's almost there. So sad for such a new phone to have so little development than to our wonderful bootloader. I'm sure there will be a few 4.3 tw Roms soon

Wow.thanks guys. Awful development for the best phone on the market .

Yeah. Unfortunately that's what has become of this phone. I ditched my htc rezound ( a very short lived development life as well) for the s4 and have even less rom options with a huge flagship device. I am glad to have the few great options we do have though

Sorry if I missed it but what firmware is your device? MDK hopefully? Or ME7 or newer? Nitro has a solid and stable 4.3 Eclipse Now. It is already stable and he is packing in the goodies now.

Here is the 4.3 I am running and loving it. Nitro is a beast.

Don't see why not if the rom supports multi carrier. I could be wrong though. Never really ventured out that far. If hyperdrive didn't exist I'd probably be desperate enough to start looking into that

I'm unlocked running the ECLIPSE 4.3 AOSP with a bunch of KitKat apk upgrades. But i really miss a few of the TW features like the camera app and wave to answer and scroll webpages. I'll look into that ROM. thanks.

If pure nexus ROM could make it to op2 then it would be really great
I don't think nx ROM is same as pure nexus ROM, or is it ?

I have tried it 2 months ago. I admit, I dont remember exactly what was good and bad about it but I think it was a clean aosp, just as the nexus-es have. Try it, it worked fine i think...backup-flash-dont like it-restore

ok, I'm downloading it right now, will try it in 10mins...maybe I was wrong, maybe the latest version of the rom wasn't booting, maybe that troll is right
hey, what do you know? it boots perfectly on my phone, too! (the pics are taken with an Xperia E1, a lousy phone but I hope it's still visible enough)
and of course, there's still the possibility that I AM actually the liar and mister clueless troll is telling the truth!

well...like i said before, it's a pretty decent rom, pure aosp looks to me...i say again, i havent tested it rigorously but all the 'crucial' features seem fine, first hand information (installed it again just to show that)
I cleaned flash v10.4 coming from OOS3.1 but It didn't work. May be I was just unlucky. I tried it twice. My variant is A2005

yeh , it’s very stable in latest version and used it as daily driver
BTW
What op is asking for is pure nexus ROM and not nx ROM
Pure nexus is different from nx ROM and IMO better than the latter one.
So any dev out here, can get pure nexus ROM for our op2,
would be awesome

Nx rom was always one of my favorite roms on my Moto g3. I love nx rom. I have absolutely no intention to do a bad advertisement against it. And I was not the only one with booting issue. The problem might be on my side but I hope to come back to it soon.

yes guys nx rom is different from pure nexus rom
nx rom dont have features . it is more likely stock android
so plzz dont post abt nx rom , it might confuse others.
I also installed this ROM everything is working very good except 1 thing i have found, that if screen is turned off fingerprint unlock have delay until unlock, does anyone have such issue? Or does anyone now how to solve it? When screen is on fingerprint unlocks good
